JimK Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hey Gang, It has been a while since I have posted anything that I have made so I thought that I would share my latest. As you can see it is my version of the Rocky Jones Silvercup Bread rocket. It is made of wood for the most part (go figure), a golf tee and a few other bits of garage junk tossed in. While not an exact rendition it is close as I could get with the few pictures that I could find to go by. This one almost didn't make it though, after painting the red details on the front and back I set the Rocket to dry on the rail of our back deck. A gust of wind blew the rocket off the rail to the lawn below (about 9-10 feet). The rocket hit the ground like a lawn dart point first snapping off the point. :angry: I picked up the main body and looked all over for the tip. We found it stuck in the ground after quite a bit of looking. I almost tossed it into the trash. I hate to redo work but sucked it up and fixed the damage. :D Over all I am pleased with the outcome. A big thanks to Chaz for his help on the graphics. I hope that you like it. Thanks for looking JimK Not really a build pic....More of an in progress pic. Completed project One with the Rocky Jones XV-2 rocket that I made a few weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Way cool, Jim! I can see somebody mass producing those. It would definitely sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimK Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thanks guys. I am pleased with it. There are a few things I would do differently but that is the way of all projects. But it was a fun one to make. Now to find a place to put it. Thanks again. JimK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofateer Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Love the idea of Rocky flying around with a billboard of himself plastered along the side of the ship. Rocky is a fun show, I can't get enough of the logical absurdities in it. Wish I could find more episodes. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
